Pajama Day

In honor of Mary’s Place, Sunday, April 23rd is Pajama Day at the Seattle Children’s Museum. Museum visitors can bring a donation of new or gently used pajamas or bedding, and wear your pajamas to the Museum in support of Mary’s Place! Join in our pajama-themed programming, such as Hibernating Brown Bears, Pajama Fashion Show, and Bedtime Stories Story Time.

The Seattle Children’s Museum (SCM) is collaborating with Mary’s Place, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering homeless women, children and families experiencing emergency situations. The Museum recognizes the importance of providing a welcoming, inclusive community for vulnerable families to play, learn and grow. Join SCM and Mary’s Place for a day of purposeful play, with programs designed to encourage rich interactions between visitors, and offer practical support as well.
